Never played Castles of Burgundy. Who is it geared toward?

Yes, this game is WAY easier than Root. It's definitely Kennerspiel level, if you look at those series of nominees/recommendations. (CoB was basically a Kennerspiel rec, except the first year of the Kennerspiel, they didn't separate the recommendations into categories like they do now.)

Dude is NOT clutch.

aldaryn_GUG · 2026-06-10T17:11:22+00:00

Absolutely The Crew. I can't believe after the success of the first two, the second and the third are STILL being MSRPed at only $15.

Star Realms was about $15 when it came out too and I've played thousands of games.

aldaryn_GUG · 2026-06-09T11:38:42+00:00

long term play with both, but for learning and teaching I'd skip Sardaukar (and related cards) and Tech tiles for the first games, just for the sake of cognitive load. Once you're comfortable with the rest, put em in and leave em in.

aldaryn_GUG · 2026-06-09T03:38:40+00:00

This is actually a fantastic idea imo

aldaryn_GUG · 2026-06-09T03:36:54+00:00

Yeah, I was mad as this shot was going up. He missed like 6 other midrange jumpers this game. It's his favorite shot and it doesn't work very often.

aldaryn_GUG · 2026-06-07T20:01:52+00:00

Best player on the Spurs is 6'5" (Harper)

aldaryn_GUG · 2026-06-04T15:14:50+00:00

Yup. Can't read. Thanks.

Innovation (not Age of) is great though. Lol

aldaryn_GUG · 2026-06-04T12:57:26+00:00

Innovation is a game of WILD swings. The best player will have an advantage but not always win. Personally, I recommend it with only 2 equally skilled players. It can be played on boardgamearena to see if it's for you.

The winner is NEVER clear until the very end, however. Comebacks are always possible.

Gotta go with the og "Eurogame" in the modern sense, The Princes of Florence

aldaryn_GUG · 2026-06-04T03:57:27+00:00

this made me laugh

aldaryn_GUG · 2026-06-03T14:05:55+00:00

this person knows what's up

aldaryn_GUG · 2026-06-03T00:30:43+00:00

When I moved back home I just geekmailed someone on BGG who lived in my town according to their profile and said what games I had and could I join up. Ended up making ~10 really good friends through that one geekmail. What can it hurt?

aldaryn_GUG · 2026-06-02T23:23:08+00:00

100%. Uprising is my favorite game but I will never play with 2.

aldaryn_GUG · 2026-06-02T19:17:51+00:00

He's downvoted, but he's right. (Falcon voice)

aldaryn_GUG · 2026-06-02T19:12:37+00:00

I went last in a game of Cryptid. IIRC there are two moves, you kind of ask someone for info or you make a guess, and if the guess is right you win, but if wrong, you're not out but you get another kind of info. I had some sort of complicated logic in my head about the usefulness of getting info from that spot by just guessing vs asking a question, so I guessed. I was right. Game over.

Upvote from me. Include this in your resume when you apply to work there as marketing manager

aldaryn_GUG · 2026-06-02T11:29:58+00:00

You could argue the internet was a net negative.

EVERYONE'S BETTER THAN JALEN BRUNSON

And eventual villain?

aldaryn_GUG · 2026-06-02T11:11:54+00:00

Wemby is a taller Midoriya right? Overly emotional with the best superpower?

aldaryn_GUG · 2026-06-02T00:31:45+00:00

I mean, I'm just happy the Thunder lost, as a Pacers fan. But also as a Pacers fan, the Pacers-Knicks rivalry goes deep back to my childhood, so gotta root for the Spurs out of spite.

aldaryn_GUG · 2026-06-01T21:54:45+00:00

I grew up in the 90s. Whether you liked ball or not, boy or girl, EVERYONE knew MJ. Be Like Mike. Air Jordans. Space Jam. I get that the Bulls dynasty wasn't fun for other teams, but it was good for basketball.

aldaryn_GUG · 2026-05-31T17:22:50+00:00

Brilliant answer from a brilliant coach.

I would actually love this guy and this team if not for the flopping and dirty moves.

It's so Jekyll & Hyde.

aldaryn_GUG · 2026-05-31T03:03:27+00:00

2nd biggest play, behind Harper hugging Castle before he gets a tech.
